Joni Mitchell - CAREY ***CAPO 1ST*** CHORDS USED: C G F C The wind is in from Africa G Last night I couldn't sleep F C Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here Carey G But it's really not my home C G My fingernails are filthy, I got beach tar on my feet F C G And I miss my clean white linen and my fancy French cologne G C Oh Carey get out your cane C G And I'll put on some silver F G C Oh you're a mean old Daddy, but I like you C G Come on down to the Mermaid Cafe and I will buy you a bottle of wine F C G And we'll laugh and toast to nothing and smash our empty glasses down C Let's have a round for these freaks and these soldiers G A round for these friends of mine F C Let's have another round for the bright red devil G Who keeps me in this tourist town C Come on, Carey, get out your cane C G I'll put on some silver F G C Oh you're a mean old Daddy, but I like you C Maybe I'll go to Amsterdam G Or maybe I'll go to Rome F C G And rent me a grand piano and put some flowers 'round my room C But let's not talk about fare-thee-welIs now G The night is a starry dome. F C And they're playin' that scratchy rock and roll G Beneath the Matalla Moon G C Come on, Carey, get out your cane C G And I'll put on some silver F G C You're a mean old Daddy, but I like you C The wind is in from Africa G Last night I couldn't sleep F C Oh, you know it sure is hard to leave here G But, it's really not my home C Maybe it's been too long a time G Since I was scramblin' down in the street F C Now they got me used to that clean white linen G And that fancy French cologne G C Oh Carey, get out your cane C G I'll put on my finest silver F G We'll go to the Mermaid Cafe C Have fun tonight F G C I said, Oh, you're a mean old Daddy, but you're out of sight Love this song! From Joni Mitchell's album 'Blue'
